Joshua One Ministries

As we explained in a previous post, Joshua One is written by two “Evangelical Independents.” I wouldn’t be surprised if blogger Mark Daniels would also be happy to accept that label. I enjoy Daniels’ observations on politics and other topics and recommend his Better Living blog.

Thanks to the Two Or Three blog for recommending our series on Christian Fundamentalism (three installments so far, with a few more in the works). I am returning the favor by inviting our readers to check out TwoOrThree.net.

Sorrell’s main topic is Christianity. Like Rod Heggy and myself, Sorrell appears to be involved in the independent Christian churches. Apparently Sorrell lives in the Oklahoma City [...]
